Brian's guitar solo is so kickass , it's surprising to think it's only 1963.

@yoda5436

simon templer wow, I’ve never seen a person with such a shit opinion, you’re defending the stones over the Beatles on a song performed by the stones that was written by the Beatlesz

@yoda5436

simon templer yeah cuz two of the Beatles are dead, they would’ve gotten back together eventually, are you blaming the Beatles cuz they fucking died

@yoda5436

simon templer yeah sorry but barely anyone listens to the radio anymore anyway, also the Beatles have multiple records pertaining their record sales, and are monetarily the biggest band of all time, also I suggest you check the views on Beatles videos vs stones videos
